Integrated Waste Management Sample Clauses

Integrated Waste Management involves a number of key elements, including: recognising each step in the waste management process as part of a whole; involving all key players in the decision-making process; and utilising a mixture of waste management options within the locally determined sustainable waste management system. Kerbside Collection - any regular collection of recyclables from premises, including collections from commercial or industrial premises as well as from households. Excludes collection services delivered on demand. Land-Use Planning - the Town and Country Planning system regulates the development and use of land in the public interest, and has an important role to play in achieving sustainable waste management. Licensed Site – a waste disposal or treatment facility which is licensed under the Environmental Protection Act for that function. Proximity principle - the proximity principle (as applied to wastes) is that they should be treated or disposed of as near to their place of origin as possible so as to minimise the distance that they are moved. Recycling - involves the reprocessing of wastes, either into the same product or a different one. Many non-hazardous industrial wastes such as paper, glass, cardboard, plastics and scrap metals can be recycled. Special wastes such as solvents can also be recycled by specialist companies, or by in-house equipment. Reduction - achieving as much waste reduction as possible is a priority action. Reduction can be accomplished within a manufacturing process involving the review of production processes to optimise utilisation of raw (and secondary) materials and recirculation processes. It can be cost-effective, both in terms of lower disposal costs, reduced demand for raw materials and energy costs. It can be carried out by householders through actions such as home composting, reusing products and buying goods with reduced packaging. Re-Use - can be practised by the commercial sector with the use of products designed to be used a number of times, such as re-usable packaging. Householders can purchase products that use refillable containers, or re-use plastic bags. The processes contribute to sustainable development and can save raw materials, energy and transport costs. Self-sufficiency - dealing with wastes within the region or country where they arise. Separate collection - kerbside schemes where materials for recycling are collected either by a different vehicle or at a different time to the ordinary household waste collectio...
